It’s foul out there today thanks to “Bert” but after the storm, well that can be another story.
Sandscale Haws and Roanhead Beach as the sun sets below the receding storm clouds.
If you know the area Black Coombe is a dominant mountain in the scene, here mostly obscured by cloud.

Roanhead Beach (National Trust) Barrow-in-Furness, England. 16th November 2024. There are massive sand dunes and, upon one visit, I was told there are pink grasshoppers. Not the time of year to look for them!

The latest from Roanhead - this just isn't on 🤬
Developers are now claiming only 9% of visitors will leave the "contained" site for Sandscale Haws nature reserve, SSSI and Ramsar protected areas. 🤔Sounds like they've broken their promises to local businesses on top of everything else 😤
